Plenty of mobile phone users would want to own and Android smart phone, however, not everyone can afford the hefty retail price of the device or the high end contracts associated with it. T-Mobile is now offering a more cost-efficient solution to everyone hungry for a taste of Android technology with the pay-as-you-go Pulse. Expect to see some cheap T-Mobile Pulse deals this month or next when the phone finally launches.
Managing a Good Price
With cost being the primary concern for this Android smart phone, it is no wonder that the carrier T-Mobile turned to Huawei to manufacture this new generation of Android phones. Huawei is a well known brand that produces USB dongles and recently launched their own Android phone at the Mobile World Congress. They can manufacture high end devices for really low prices, allowing T-Mobile to formulate a phone worth of the Google Android.
The 3.5 inch capacitive touch screen phone features multi touch capabilities for improved navigation and a wider range of gestures. While Android 1.5 Cupcake does not have any preset functions for multi touch capabilities, we can imagine that many apps will be developed for this.
Hardware Capabilities
As said, the T-Mobile Pulse will be an Android 3G smart phone with a low price, but it will still have great specs. The 3.5 inch touch screen is larger than the 3.2 inch screens of an average HTC Android phone. It will also have a 5 mega pixel camera, definitely higher than usual 3 mega pixel cameras in other phones today. The rest of the specs are standard smart phone rates; it has quad band network support, A-GPS, Bluetooth and a micro USB.
For internet connectivity, this mobile phone supports WiFi, 3G HSDPA, GPRS and EDGE networks. If you are not willing to spend plenty of money for the XPERIA X10 or the Motorola Milestone but would still want and Android, then the Pulse is the phone for you.
